:bigwelcome to RFF lp08479!!
Thanks so much for sharing with us!! :jumpy:
Is there any more that you might be able to tell us?? We know just a little about Shanghai so far...
But sometimes Phill is there a day ahead to film standups, then the day of the tasks, then the departure day makes three days already...so it would be helpful if your friend could say that teams were filmed for 3 or 4 days, it does make a difference.
But Neobie also believes that there may be two legs, if so, what a great thing to let us see more of Shanghai!! :hearts:
Glamazon Racer:
It's great to hear about a possible second Shanghai leg. I think someone mentioned it, but the last three races have all spent two legs in the penultimate city.

Ever since TAR 12, the structure of the route has changed in consistent ways from earlier seasons. We now have a pattern with 11-12 legs, rather than 12-13 (and I'm not counting the uberlegs as seprate legs in this comparison).
In the recent Races, there has been a consistent pattern of two or three cities where there are double legs. In the earlier seasons , two legs in a country didn't always mean two legs in the same city or metropolitan area. And it appears the remaining legs are often a grouped together so that several proximate countries are plotted out in each continent/area the route goes through. I'm sure it may be stating the obvious, but my point is that there really is a change since Race 12 as compared to the Races prior to that one.

Actually, TAR 12 did not stay in the same city for one leg (they went out to the country and back into the capital during the Burkino Faso legs). TAR 14 only stayed in Beijing due to the TBC. TAR 13 stayed in Delhi and Moscow, and TAR 15 stayed in Dubai and Prague for 2 legs each.
A far more visible trend that really started in TAR 13 is the fact that 3 countries host more than 1 leg:
TAR 13: Brazil, India, Russia.
TAR 14: Russia, Thailand, China.
TAR 15: Vietnam, Dubai, Czech Republic.
We know that Chile has 2 legs for TAR 16. That leaves 2 more unaccounted for.
Furthermore, the last city (Moscow, Beijing, Prague) has held 2 legs.

Yep, and it appears as if the pattern will hold again this season.

As you know, TAR 14 went to Beijing China for two legs since 2008 Olympics was hold there and a big part of that two legs was relative of Olympics.
And this time, World Exhibition 2010 is going to be hold in Shanghai which is the biggest World Exhibition in the history. (http://en.expo2010.cn/)
Most of countries all over the world will participate in it and a lot of beautiful pavilions have been build in shanghai.(http://en.expo2010.cn/participation/pop/moren.htm)
So it is very very possible for TAR 16 to do something about World ExExhibition 2010 in Shanghai this time. :jumpy:

They were definitely in Shanghai. I was on the flight with TAR contestants from Shanghai back to the US in Dec. They originally told me they were part of some travel show. There were 4 teams on my flight...
